Summary
Commissioners were told an artist or developer estimate to replace a deteriorated painted utility box near Hawk Ridge is about $4,200; the developer’s board will decide whether to proceed and pay the cost.
A commissioner reported on June 16 that Clark County provided an estimate of approximately $4,200 to replace a deteriorated painted utility box near Hawk Ridge on Airport Road. The commission noted it had added $500 to the estimate to pay an artist (identified in the discussion as Rochelle) and said the developer or the developer’s board was considering whether to proceed.
Commission member Karen said she passed the estimate to Martha and had not heard back from the developer’s board. Another commissioner clarified the box had deteriorated and that the original painting had been installed by the developer; the request that the arts commission assist was to facilitate replacement, not to fund the work unilaterally.
Commissioners discussed the commission’s bank balance during the meeting; the commission’s treasurer reported interest of $1.43 for April and May and a total balance of $3,068.45 in the commission account. Commissioners asked who would pay for the replacement if the developer declined; Karen said the developer planned to pay but the commission was awaiting confirmation from the developer’s board.
No formal funding commitment or motion was made at the meeting; commissioners said they would await the developer’s decision and could revisit the matter if the developer requested commission assistance.
